Use Piecewise to construct a new function that combines the two
InterpolatingFunctions returned. Something like
f[x_]:=Piecewise[{{u[x], 0<x<rc}, {y[x], rc<x<2}}]
where u,v are the two interpolating functions you want to
combine. When combined as above outside the range of 0 to 2, f
is not defined. So, no extrapolation will be done.
